My 4 year old has been on generic Trileptal since March. Although it has wonderfully controlled his seizures(we have only had 1 episode since March 13) I am not sure he should stay on it. We have been dealing increasingly more evident behavior and problematic personality changes. My once very reserved, complacent, relaxed little boy is now VERY aggressive, violent, irritable, argumentative and quick to anger. He seems to be very anxious, tempremental and bursts into tears at the drop of a hat. Not only does he cry about EVERYTHING, he gets to the point of near hyperventilation. He also seems to have difficulty concentrating or maintaining attention. He once could play with his toy cars for hours and now can't sit still for more than a few minutes. At his last appointment, the neuro noted that he was sitting on the table, unable to keep his leg still, but was yawning at the same time. We also noticed this week that he has developed canker sores.
He sees the neuro next Thursday and I am going to bring all of this to her attention, but I am scared of taking him off of a med that worked so well at controlling his seizures. I just can't imagine this "new personality" is going to do well at school in the fall.
Has anyone else experienced this type of change in their child with this or another med?
